Is baseball slow?
When people complain that baseball is slow, I wonder if they really mean that defense is boring. The best a defending team can do is prevent their situation from getting worse, and unlike some sports, baseball does not have turnovers. That does feel slow!
I also like to joke that being slow used to be the point. “Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jacks, I don't care if I ever get back.” Somehow, that has become, “Put a runner on second, I've got places to be!”
